Hey shooters!

I’m about to buy another battery (official) for my A7iv and I would love to have a charger so I could charge 2/3 batteries at once.

I saw that Sony has an official dual charger for about $120 and saw a company called “nitecore”
that sells a slim charger for the No-Fz100 for about $30. Other similar cost around $20-$30.

Is it safe to buy a non-Sony charger? Is the Nitecore option legit? LINK FOR NITECORE

Also saw a K&F concept catheter on Amazon, any thoughts about it? LINK FOR K&F

How about an Orange unit from SmallRig that can charge up to 4 at once? LINK FOR SMALLRIG

Are any of these chargers a good option for the battery?

Thanks in advance,
Max

I will be in Tokyo next week so if you know any good and reliable places for this equipment,
Please let me know!
 
I have the Sony one - it comes in the box with the A1 mark II. It works well for me, as long as you connect it to a sufficiently powerful USB-C PD charger (if you use a 10W or 15W block it will sit there and flash alternating yellow lights at you - I think that's as close as it can get to laughing at you: "You think I am going to be powered by that puny thing?").

I've never used an off-brand charger.

In the past I've just used the previous in-the-box charger, or sometimes two of them to charge two batteries. I've used the same old charger for 4 years without a problem - they definitely seem to last.
 

Excellent piece of kit. Takes about an hour to charge two batteries from flat.
Looks unique Dave, Thanks!

Is it also a powerbank?

I mean if I am not charging my sony batteries, can I change my phone (or any other device) with a cable?
 
I've used one like this for years now with no issues. It came with two batteries and I mostly used it because at the Sony single charge needed a wall plug and this one I could just plug into a power bank when out on trips.
